Chapter 672

"Interesting! Really interesting!"

While the battle was going on on the ground, in the air not far from the battlefield, the invisible Sui Xiong was observing the two sides of the battle with great interest.

He was very satisfied with the performance of the clergy, and Baron Dahl's wise decision also made him nod secretly, but what interested him at the moment was actually the goblin chieftain.

Unlike ordinary people, Sui Xiong had great strength and enough knowledge, and had already seen through the true ability of this guy - his other abilities were mediocre, and the only powerful one was the ability to suddenly grow bigger.

This ability was not the "giant transformation" judged by the spellcasters in the mopping-up army, but another kind of seemingly wonderful spell, the giant insect spell.

Some of the senior adventurers had participated in battles to eliminate insect monsters. In those battles, they occasionally saw magic insects that could display wonderful abilities and instantly become as big as humans, or even bigger than humans. Spellcasters studied this type of magic worm, hoping to analyze this wonderful ability, develop it into a spell, and then use it on humans or golems.

Imagine, if a golem that is almost two people tall suddenly becomes more than ten times larger, how powerful it will be! Even if it can't last for a long time, even if it can only fight in this state for a dozen or twenty seconds, it is enough to severely damage the enemy's battle formation and severely hit the enemy's morale.

But after a period of research, everyone gave up this seemingly tempting idea. Because even though a lot of mana and resources were spent, and many experimental subjects were lost, there was no key breakthrough in wanting to transfer this spell to "against people" or "against golems".

Over time, fewer and fewer spellcasters studied this type of magic worm. In the end, this kind of research almost became the research content of the cold bench department. Only the mages who failed in the power struggle would unwillingly go to the part with very few resources to study things that were destined to be fruitless - including those insects.

The only one who has achieved some results is the druids, who have developed the famous "Giant Insect Spell". That spell can make a specially raised magic insect almost ten times bigger, and it can become a reliable comrade in arms in an instant.

But today, Sui Xiong saw a real example.

This goblin chief should have a unique bloodline - according to Sui Xiong's analysis, it not only has a little magic insect bloodline, but also a lot of giant bloodline. The two bloodlines are combined with the goblin bloodline as a bridge, which produces a wonderful effect, transferring this ability that originally appeared in insect monsters to it.

Although the degree of its enlargement is much weaker than the genuine "Giant Insect Spell", it is much stronger than the "Giant Transformation Spell". If this situation can be studied thoroughly, maybe a unique spell will appear in Sui Xiong's church. In the future, when his clergy fight, they can shout "Holy Light gives me strength", and then turn into a majestic and menacing behemoth that stands taller than a house.

Imagine that when two armies are facing each other, hundreds of priests will "gods descend to earth" together. Even if the enemy is not scared to death, they will be wielded by their equally huge weapons, just like crops in the autumn fields.

Facing such an army, no matter how brave and tenacious the enemy is, they will not be able to withstand a single blow!

Thinking of this, Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh even more happily.

...The goblin chief on the ground can't laugh, on the contrary, it is now in a very embarrassing state.

Being beaten up by the priests of the Church of the Void Mask in a "siege boss" posture, this monster, which is not very powerful in itself, is very uncomfortable. Its strength is at most two or three holy warriors. If six holy warriors come together, even if it becomes a giant, it can't resist, not to mention that there are priests and priests next to it to help those holy warriors.

The two rangers who didn't attack it were now taking turns to shoot arrows at the goblin shaman slowly. As experienced adventurers, they did not expect to knock down the monster whose strength was not inferior to theirs with such ordinary attacks, but they firmly restrained the opponent through such means, making the goblin shaman roar continuously, but he could do nothing.

It had wanted to cast a spell to help the chief more than once, but facing two rangers whose strength was no less than its own, and facing arrows that were not very powerful but shot at vital points, it had no way to cast a spell properly. Just blocking or dodging the attacks of the two rangers had almost exhausted all its energy.

As for other things, it really couldn't care less.

At the same time, the army under Baron Dahl, led by the knights, slaughtered those ordinary goblins. The fully armed soldiers rushed in front, and the skilled archers followed behind. The goblins kept falling down like wheat at harvest.

There were also some stronger goblins, such as goblin warriors, goblin hunters, goblin archers, etc. But their strength was at best the same as those professional soldiers who had received combat training for many years, and they were vulnerable to the knights and quasi-knights. Not to mention that there were spellcasters behind them to assist the knights, and even the Karaba priest of the Void Mask Church had spared his time to use several large-scale auxiliary spells.

Priests are considered to be the ones who specialize in spells among the divine spellcasters. Unlike priests who can fight in heavy armor, they are more like mages in the direction of divine spells. This makes their spellcasting ability far higher than that of ordinary priests, especially in large-scale auxiliary spells.

The Kabbalah priest used four large-scale auxiliary spells. First, it boosted our morale, then everyone on the battlefield got a divine shield that could slightly weaken the enemy's attack, and then added a little blessing to all our weapons, so that they could cause greater damage. The last spell allowed everyone on our side to slowly recover from the damage they received - it took about ten seconds to recover to the level of scratches.

These four spells are not very good when used alone, but when they are used as a set, the strength of the mopping-up army is greatly increased, and the morale is greatly enhanced - not to mention that the spells themselves can boost morale, the effect of the shield and weapon blessing alone is enough to double people's confidence. In addition, they can clearly feel that their injuries are slowly healing, which makes the soldiers more courageous, and they are naturally much braver when fighting.

As the saying goes, the bravest win when two meet in a narrow road. The mopping-up army was much stronger than the goblins, and they were even braver. The outcome of this battle was actually predetermined.

After about half an hour of fighting, the battle finally came to an abrupt end with the goblin chief's unwilling roar.

"What a... powerful... guy!" The sturdy paladin, who was as strong as a bear, completed the last blow, standing on the body of the goblin chief, whose chest was pierced and blood was gushing out like a spring, panting like a bellows.

Not only was he tired, but the other paladins were also tired. In the previous battle, the goblin chief had used the giantization spell three times. If they hadn't cooperated well and trained well, I'm afraid someone would have been injured.

Now they are just tired, and no one is injured, which is the best result.
